Don't hurt my Mama...

I took Bell to my chiropractor appointment today, she sure doesn't like then my Dr. cracks my back. She was fine while he was in the room just asking questions but as soon as he started to crack my back she started flipping out. So much so that another Dr. came into the room to see if everything was ok...she stopped crying then. As soon as the second Dr. left she started flipping out again. Good thing that the appointments only last a couple of minutes. It's too bad though because our chiropractor is so nice, and she would really like him... He is great about her crying, his daughter screams when he adjusts his wife as well, so thankfully he is used to toddlers...

Number 11

Tooth number 11 arrived today...hopefully that explains the middle of the night screaming last night! All the better to eat her pizza crust with - she sure does love pizza crust!!!

How I love thee...

At toddler class Bell always sits on Teacher Amy's lap when it is time to sing songs. I sit in the circle and take part in the songs, but I think I could walk out the door and she would be quite happy "zooming down the freeway" on teacher Amy's legs. It is a good thing that the other kids don't seem to interested in sitting on her lap, because I don't think Bell would like having to share : ) It's funny Bell doesn't really pay too much attention to her throughout the rest of class, but when it comes to songs and stamp time - Teacher Amy is the best!!!

I tried...

I tried to take Bell to the dentist for the first time yesterday...it didn't go well. A few weeks ago we went with Gabe to get his flipper adjusted. She was fine sitting on the chair with me beside Gabe, and watching the dentist do his work. Today, I sat with her in the exam chair and she freaked out as soon as the dentist put his gloves on. Their was no way that she was going to let him near her mouth. The assistant tried to make her happy with a toy, but no go. She wasn't even happy when he was making adjustments to my night guard.

I made another appointment for 6 months from now - so we'll see how it goes then. The best I can do is brush her teeth and make the appointments : )

First Dance

Eli and Bell dancing at the Halloween party - it was so cute! If only we had video...

Halloween Party

Today was our second annual Halloween party and baking swap with my mom's group. It is always so nice to see all the kids playing together and all dressed up - even better. They looked so cute! We had a cowboy, dog, mouse, snow white, Elvis, panda bear - sadly, our michael phelps couldn't make it : ( Dad's come to this party as well, it is always nice to see them and our working mom's, who can't make our weekly play date! The baked goods of course were delicious - I now feel very ill from eating too many treats...

First of many....

Bell has her first cold of the season...poor thing. Coughing, sneezing, tired, and sounds terrible - we are hoping that she doesn't feel as bad as she sounds. She is sucky, but it's well past her bedtime and she is still playing so she can't be that bad...right??? I tried to put her to bed a while ago but she just danced in her crib, so I decided that she could dance around the house instead... Thankfully, she likes Kleenex and usually lets us try and wipe her nose without too much hassle. Now she is pretending to blow her nose, and then hiding the crumpled Kleenex around the house : )
